Hello all. I'm the one who wrote and currently publishes the Access to Insight iPhone/iPad app on the Apple App Store. (All I did was write a sort of "wrapper" application for the offline version of the A to I web site; I didn't write or contribute any content to the A to I site or place anything new in the app.)

Due to various conditions I can't really continue to maintain the application or keep it published (it will be on the app store for almost another year since I recently paid the developer account renewal fee thought the content hasn't been updated in a while), so I'd like to find someone else to maintain it and hopefully add features that people have been wanting (like enlarging the size of the text).

Ideally I'd like to pass it off to someone who can have it published on the App Store under an account owned by something like a Theravada literature foundation (for example) that would continue to make it available regardless of what happens with any individual person.

I'm not sure the app is really all that important anymore since I think you can just get a decent PDF reader like GoodReader or PDF Expert and use that to read the html version of A to I, but it still may be worth having a free and easy to install way of reading the material for those with iOS mobile devices.

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!Blog,-Some Suttas Translated,Ajahn Chah."Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily.

What a coincidence finding this here. I'm willing to help out keep the Android version in check if you need help with that - I have no experience making iOS app's unfortunately and it is not something I could commit time to learning as I have quite a bit of work for the next two years at least.

EDIT: That said, if I find someone capable of taking care of an iOS app, I'll let you know.

Not exactly an improvement for the iOS app, but I've always wanted to classify ATI content based on prominent character names to be able to browse the whole thing by character. We can probably do this for other criteria as well... I also want to cluster the content just to see what appears. This is no small task though... But doing this can open up some unique browsing/searching capabilities.
